    Great looking plugin, perfect for what I need except it doesn’t work with php8.

    The [qem] shortcode produces:

    Fatal error: Uncaught ErrorException: Undefined variable $cat_name

    Full error:

    Fatal error: Uncaught ErrorException: Undefined variable $cat_name in /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-content/plugins/quick-event-manager/legacy/qem-event-build-functions.php:822 Stack trace: #0 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-content/plugins/quick-event-manager/legacy/qem-event-build-functions.php(822): OxyProps\Inc\HTTPRequest->error_handler(2, 'Undefined varia...', '...', 822) #1 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-content/plugins/quick-event-manager/legacy/qem-event-build-functions.php(350): qem_build_event('field13', Array, Array, Array, Array, Array, Array) #2 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-content/plugins/quick-event-manager/legacy/shortcodes/qem-qem.php(225): qem_event_construct_esc(Array) #3 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-includes/shortcodes.php(355): qem_event_shortcode_esc(Array, '', 'qem') #4 [internal function]: do_shortcode_tag(Array) #5 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-includes/shortcodes.php(227): preg_replace_callback('/\\[(\\[?)(qem)(?...', 'do_shortcode_ta...', '[qem]\n') #6 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(308): do_shortcode('[qem]\n') #7 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-includes/plugin.php(205): WP_Hook->apply_filters('[qem]\n', Array) #8 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-includes/post-template.php(255): apply_filters('the_content', '<!-- wp:shortco...') #9 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-content/themes/bricks/template-parts/page.php(10): the_content() #10 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-includes/template.php(785): require('...') #11 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-includes/template.php(718): load_template('...', false, Array) #12 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-includes/general-template.php(204): locate_template(Array, true, false, Array) #13 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-content/themes/bricks/page.php(12): get_template_part('template-parts/...') #14 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-includes/template-loader.php(106): include('...') #15 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-blog-header.php(19): require_once('...') #16 /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/index.php(17): require('...') #17 {main} thrown in /Local Sites/examplesite/app/public/wp-content/plugins/quick-event-manager/legacy/qem-event-build-functions.php on line 822

    What version of PHP 8?

    Getting a FATAL on an undefined variable is a new one for me.

    Normally it is a WARNING

    I suspect that you have set 

    E_STRICT

    somewhere in your setup rather than more permissive options, QEM has many undefined variables, these do not impact functionality and in ‘normal’ setup woudl just log as ‘warnings’.

    Over time ( a long time ) we will eliminate as many warnings as we can, but these are really for develoepr reference not user reference.

    php8.1.9 – it’s on localhost. I will see about trying it on a live site and if it improves. Thanks for the quick response.
